The Catholic Church (Vatican) which has diplomatic relations with the United Nations and with other nations sees that the establishment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is a sign of collective responsibility to uphold the principles of human dignity, equality and equity at the global level. The Indonesian Catholic Church as one part of the Catholic Church participates by supporting and actively engaging in delivering the millennium development goals (MDGs). In its efforts the Indonesian Catholic Church uses these four principles ? human dignity, the common good, subsidiarity and solidarity. The Indonesian Catholic Church uses all of its resources (foundations, religious congregations and Catholic faith based NGOs) to reach the MDGs through various activities including spiritual and practical activities. It also encourages its people to build local communities so that not only the MGDs are reached but also the local communities become sustainable.

One of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is the eradication poverty and hunger. And this is the first goal out of the eight MDGs. The growth of microfinance institutions is very helpful in increasing the income of low to the middle class. In addition, the micro finance institution acts with more family-oriented approach, where the paper work required for applying loan is not as complex as the documentation required for banks. So that microfinance institutions are encouraged to reach out to the every corner of the interior. It can be in the form of cooperatives, Economic Business Village – Savings and Loans, and Credit Union. Bank branches may not be able to reach rural areas because of the high cost economy, so microfinance institutions can be relied by the government to improve the welfare of rural and urban communities. But microlending, can be misused if not given with appropriate understanding and training. Therefore, microfinance institutions must have a fixed identity, vision and mission, in order not to get stuck in a consumptive rather than productive economy. This research was based on case study of Credit Union live experiences, which have been proven to be successful in improving the welfare of farmers and micro entrepreneurs. This study was also conducted using in-depth interviews to the management of the Credit Union at the head office in Jakarta.
